Today there was a moment when Crystal was weened off of the sedative and she was able to nod her head yes and no when she was asked questions. This just means that while she is off of the medication she is responsive which is a good sign. It shows that her comprehension has not been effected by the state that she has been in. There is virtually no change in her condition but that doesn't mean that there won't be any. The nurse that is working with her today has told us that he has seen five different people in her condition be placed on the bed. Three of those five have responded well to the treatment. He also went on to tell us that normally the condition truly improves after two weeks, although this does give insight to what we may or may not be in for the fact remains that everyone will respond differently to any type of treatment. Therefore, we really don't know when we can expect to see true improvement for Crystal. Today they have her oxygen intake percentage at around 80 to 90. Her blood oxygen level is at around 97. It has been seen at 99 as well as 94. Regardless there is some improvement in her oxygen level. She has been the same all day and overall her condition has not really improved but it also has not worsened since two days ago. She's remaining stable. Keep praying hard and don't give up hope.
Because people have been so eager to help and have been looking for ways in which to do so we have set up The Crystal Ellerbe-Rosenthal Family Assist Fund that contributions can be made to. This money will remain in the account unless an extreme emergency occurs. It will then be used to pay for rent, electric, water, and grocery. If the money is not needed it will then be placed into a college savings account for Brooke-lynn Rosental, Curtis Dean Rosenthal, and Audriara Dawn Rosenthal. You can go into any Bank of America and make a contribution using the account number that will be provided below or if you have Bank of America you can go online and transfer funds into the account directly. Online bank to bank transfers will require a routing number as well as the account number, both of which are provided below. We appreciate everyones prayer and hope, every little bit helps. Thank you and God Bless.

You cannot know the elation I felt just seeing Crystal nod her head yes and no to questions. We were so fortunate to be there with her at the moment she got a break on the bed to see that in person. She can hear everything that is said whether she can respond or not so everyone please keep your comments positive and encouraging. Her O2 Sat level rises when she hears our voices. Never miss the opportunity to tell her you love her.
